Since being laid off in November, I’ve stayed focused on networking and actively searching for my next opportunity. This week, I had the chance to take on consulting work with a company in the UK. It felt great to dive into meaningful work instead of scrolling job boards all day.

Morning meeting with the local fishing supervisor. He didn’t say much. Just held the branch and watched the water like a pro. Not a bad way to start the day. #PNW #MorningWalk #AlwaysGo

Snarky Puppy at Revolution Hall in Portland, OR is easily the show I’m most excited about this year. If you get a chance to see them live, don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it.

Rest in power, Ebo Taylor. A giant of Ghanaian highlife and Afro-funk whose music carried joy, resistance, and deep soul across generations. Grateful for the grooves, the messages, and the legacy you leave behind. 🖤 🇬🇭

Spinning The Sylvers this morning and thinking about how much Black family groups shaped the sound of the ’70s soul, funk, pop, and harmony that still echoes everywhere. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackMusicHistory #VinylCommunity

Caught Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country last night and my face is still somewhere on the floor. Deep grooves, fearless jams, and that cosmic-country sweet spot where everything just clicks. Highly recommended if he’s playing near you. #AlwaysGo

Dropping the needle on history. Jazz, born from Black brilliance, tells stories of joy, pain, experimentation, and freedom in every note. Listening isn’t passive. It’s participation. #BlackHistoryMonth #JazzOnWax #VinylCommunity

I only knew El Gran Grupo from their self-titled album, so this reissue of "Sí aquí llegó ya" from El Palmas Music is a real treat. A beautiful slice of 1970s Venezuelan tropical music, thoughtfully brought back for a new wave of listeners and collectors. ¡Bravo! #ElPalmasMusic tinyurl.com/3xh68tye

A few minutes to kill turned into a quick stop at my local record store, which, as usual, turned into a record coming home with me. Couldn’t pass up a Labi Siffre record. One of those artists that always rewards a deeper listen. #1709Records #VancouverWA #ShopLocal

Black music isn’t just sound. It’s history, resistance, joy, and survival pressed into grooves. Black History Month is a reminder that so much of what we listen to, feel, and build starts here. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackMusic #VinylCulture #MusicAsHistory

Black History Month isn’t just about honoring the past. It’s about recognizing what’s unfinished. Progress didn’t stop. The work didn’t end. And the stories are still being written. Grateful for the voices, leaders, artists, and everyday people pushing things forward. #BlackHistoryMonth

Didn’t get the role after an 11-week, multi-stage interview process. Disappointing, sure, but also a reminder of how much I learned stepping back into interviews after 33 years. Sharper, more prepared, and moving forward. Onward!

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

#NowSpinning Manuel “La Pulguita” Jiménez brought pure Cuban party energy. Backed by his Cuarteto Original, this is classic Cuban son and guaracha; hand percussion, guitars, big smiles, and nonstop groove. Made for dancing, laughing, and turning the room into a fiesta. #VinylCommunity #CubanMusic 🇨🇺

An OG copy of “Act 3” by The Seldom Scene just landed in the mail today, and it went straight on the turntable. Classic harmonies, flawless picking, and that easy confidence throughout. And this version of “Rider”? I absolutely love it. Hands down one of my favorites. #Bluegrass

Ace Frehley was one of my first heroes. The silver boots, the smoke, the swagger; he made rock feel larger than life. For a kid with a cheap guitar, that was enough to dream big. Rest in peace, Spaceman! #AceFrehley

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

The new Eggy “Selects: Here and Now Tour 2025” vinyl looks and sounds amazing! I love the retro hand-drawn cover art and that blue splatter pressing! Totally captures their laid-back, psychedelic jam vibe while feeling like a proper collector’s piece. #Vinyl #VinylCollection #VinylCommunity
